Grant Applications
The core aim of the Tom Furey Memorial Trust is to continue Tom’s legacy of supporting people from all walks of life into accessing the mountains, whether that be for the mental and physical health benefits, personal enjoyment, a career or any one of the multitude of other reasons people enjoy spending time in the UK mountains, as well as further afield.
Whilst we have a number of ways of achieving this, including running events like FureyFestival, we’re also particularly keen to support those who may be having difficulty in funding courses which would enable them to further their abilities in the mountains.
With that in mind, we’re proud to say that our first ever round of grand funding is now OPEN!
In this round of funding TFMT have made £1000 available to be split between a number of successful applicants. The full application form can be downloaded below, but here’s a few of the key criteria we’ll be looking for successful applicants to meet:
